The first pic shows one AT-AP on the left with the middle support leg raised - my understanding is that when AT-AP's walk, the middle leg is raised. It's a lot taller in this position.

The AT-AP on the right side has the middle leg deployed, and this provides balance and support for the walker when the primary cannon is fired.The second image shows with it next to an AT-ST for comparison.

Thanks VERY much for those pics Chewie. Excellent comparisons. Wow it it very tall with the third leg not deployed.

That seems much more menacing than the AT-ST.

Hmm, now that hasbro has made a jointed two/three legged walker, we can hope they'd go back and do this for the AT-ST as well.

As cool as that would be, I wouldn't count on it. I think Hasbro would dust off the molds for the Cloud Car and Dagobah Playsets and release both of those in the $20 vehicle assortment before they'd spend any money upgrading the AT-ST. I'm afraid that the AT-AT and AT-ST are all we're ever going to get - good thing the AT-AT and AT-ST are examples of some of the best work done by Kenner in the 1980s.

One could only HOPE. They've repeatedly said they don't have the mold for that any longer and do not look to recreate it.

I bought a vintage one a few years ago for $5, but I'd certainly pay for a new one, if better. Meaning, better body mold, better cockpits to seat the pilots, possibly electronics, though that's very doubtful given Hasbro's reluctance to do so in more "iconic" vehicles.
